On October 12 of the third year of Xianheng, Gar Qinling personally led the main army of 140,000 to the first camp to invite the end of the day, ** did not come out, only to stick to the camp as a response, until sunset, the Tubo army pretended to return to the camp, in fact, it took advantage of the situation to withdraw the army, ** did not chase after, Li Xian strictly ordered all places not to attack without authorization, and let the main army of Tubo meet the 60,000 troops of Gar Zanpo to withdraw to Tuyuhun, so far, the battle of Hezhou, which lasted one month and two days, officially came to an end, it was a battle, ** more than 8,700 casualties, Anxiang City was looted, Under the flames of war, the four states of Qinghai were devastated, but they annihilated more than 70,000 Tubo troops, and the casualty ratio reached almost 1 to 10.

The battle was finally won, although the process was extremely difficult, but after all, it was a victory, it was indeed a thing to be thankful about, the three armies were jubilant, but Li Xian was not very happy, but he was upset, just because the aftermath was really not worry-free, not to mention the war losses in the states, the grain problem alone made Li Xian troubled, because the war of more than a month was about to come down, the grain stocks in Hexi had already been consumed, and the remaining grain was only enough for the states for a month, as for the grain allocation at the end of the court, But I can't count on it at all - the summer grain from Jiangnan Caoyun has just arrived in Luoyang, even if the court allocates grain to Hexi for the first time, it will arrive next spring at the earliest, not to mention the two major factors of the Empress Wu and the prince, when this grain will arrive, I am afraid that only the old man knows.

Grain is a lifeline, since it is indispensable, since the court can't count on it, Li Xian has to think of another idea, fortunately, there is a "Deng Ji firm" this money bag, inch head and transportation manpower and material resources are not lacking, but winter is coming, the grain that can be transported from the mainland is really limited, and it is not enough to cope with the whole winter in Hexi, but, with the good relationship with Anxi, Li Xian bought some cattle and sheep from the Turkic departments at a high price, thousands of dollars, Finally, the grain and straw in the whole Hexi were barely gathered, which was also a troublesome matter, but when Li Xian dismissed the soldiers of various states and returned to Lanzhou on October 25, he suddenly found that even greater trouble had popped up again--Qiu Shenyun, the deputy governor of Hexi, and Liu Yi, the new assassin of Lanzhou, brought a dog's tail in addition to the third son of Li Zhen, the king of Yue, Li Wen, arrived together!

"Call them in!"

Li Xian had just returned to the temporary palace, and before he had finished drinking a cup of tea, he heard Liu Ziming come to show the arrival of the three of them, and he was impatient with the boss in his heart, but he had to have an explanation on his face, so he had no choice but to suppress the boredom in his heart, and ordered with a slight frown.

"No!"

Liu Ziming had been following Li Xian for a long time, and he felt Li Xian's displeasure, so he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly answered, hurriedly left the house, and walked in with the three visitors without counting his breath.

"The younger brother has seen the king of England, the elder brother has won a big victory over Tibet, and his prestige is spread all over the world, the younger brother has come all the way, there is no one who does not promote the name of the elder brother, but unfortunately the younger brother came late, and he couldn't catch up with it, which is a pity!"

Among the three, Li Wen is the youngest and has the lowest official position, but the shelf is the largest, without the slightest humility, and he walked in the first place.

"Brother Wen has won a false award, a little bit of a battle, it's not worth mentioning, Brother Wen has been fortunate all the way, come here, take a seat!"

For Li Wen, a reckless guy, Li Xian really didn't have a good impression, but he didn't bother to have the same knowledge as him, so he just laughed and replied casually.

"Ha, Brother Xie!"

Li Wen was a familiar acquaintance, and he didn't mean anything to Li Xian at all, so he thanked him casually, and walked to the back of a few sons on the side with a big grin, lifted the hem of his robe, and sat down with a smile.

"The last general (lower official) see His Highness!"

Qiu and Liu didn't dare to be as casual as Li Wen, until the two brothers stopped socializing, then they cautiously stepped forward and saluted each other.

"No need to be polite, General Qiu and Lord Liu, please take a seat."

The two in front of him are both hardcore henchmen of the martial arts, and they naturally have no good intentions when they come to Hexi, Li Xian knows this, but he doesn't bother to say anything, he just raised his hand gently, and gave an indifferent order, and a group of people from the palace hurriedly sent a few sons, futons and other things, and served freshly brewed fragrant tea, and then they each bowed down and exited the lobby.

"Brother Yingwang, when the younger brother left Beijing, His Majesty had an order, saying that it was for Brother Ying to arrange a place for the younger brother, hehe, the younger brother next to him will not, but he can still fight a few times, just give the younger brother a state of soldiers, and the younger brother next to him does not ask too much, the elder brother will not disappoint the younger brother?" The subordinates had just retreated, and Li Wen couldn't wait to speak first, and the lion opened his mouth wide to sit on the position of the chief general of a state.

Can you fight? As far as your kid's ability is concerned, let alone going into battle, I'm afraid I can't even bring soldiers, a whole waste! As soon as he heard Li Wen say it so lightly, Li Xian didn't swallow a sip of tea, and was almost choked, and glanced at Li Wen angrily and funny, I really didn't know where this guy came from so confidently.

"Your Royal Highness, the last general has a letter from the Ministry of War here, and the last general will serve as the deputy governor of Hexi, and take over the general of the Wuhai Road March, Qi Bi He Liben, who is also in various positions, the last general has just arrived, and he is not familiar with the military situation, if he can get the help of General Li Wen, or can get started as soon as possible, please ask His Royal Highness for permission!" Without waiting for Li Xian to speak, Qiu Shenyun, who was sitting on the side, already proposed with a solemn face.

Hehe, it's so calculating, amazing, amazing! Li Xianduo is a shrewd individual, just by listening to it, he already knows where the calculations are - the area under the jurisdiction of Qi Bi He Li is the surrounding six states centered on Lanzhou, if Qiu Shenqian masters this part of the military power, plus the Lanzhou assassin is Liu Yizhi's own person, Li Xian's hands and feet were immediately tied to half of the side, plus there is Li Wen, a guy who does not stop, Li Xian must not be completely hollowed out, not to mention the major event of laying the foundation in Hexi, that is, the net worth and life have to be marked with a question mark, there is no doubt This matter must be the result of the collusion between Empress Wu and King Yue!

"Since General Qiu came by order, he has no reason to be alone, and General Qiu's determination to be loyal to the country is not good, but now the war is gone, there are still many hands on all sides, and the Tubo army is still running around in the four towns and eight miles to commit crimes, the place is difficult to say appeasement, and the sudden change of generals, I am afraid that the military situation is unfavorable, and it is good to take over again after this hurdle, I don't know what General Qiu wants?"

Knowing that Qiu Shenxian's intentions were not good, but he held the holy decree and transferred the letter to the military department, and on the big face, Li Xian could not clearly oppose his taking over the military power, so he groaned a little and gave a suggestion.

"Your Highness Mingjian, appeasement of the place is the duty of the general, the last general has been entrusted by the saint, and he does not dare to take it lightly, but the last general really does not dare to fake his hands to others, and please let His Highness fulfill it!"

Qiu Shenyun was ordered to come this time, just to say goodbye to Li Xian, not to mention that he and Li Xian still have a grudge against his brother, and he was even more reluctant to listen to Li Xian's dispatch.

"Brother Yingwang, the younger brother of the big war didn't catch up, and the matter of suppressing the bandits will be handed over to the younger brother to handle it, with General Qiu on the side, I can't stop my brother's business, and please rest assured." Li Wen obviously had a good deal with Qiu Shenxian, and no matter what Li Xian thought, he came out from the side and asked for an order in a big way.

"Well, okay, since Brother Wen and General Qiu are so confident, how can Lone not allow it, this matter is so decided, the military situation is like fire, there is no room for delay, it is better that this matter is handed over earlier!" Although Li Xian was angry in his heart, he didn't care too much, so he made a posture of appreciation, hit a few sons, and gave a clear answer, and immediately, he raised his voice and shouted: "Ziming!" ”

"The last general!"

As soon as he heard Li Xian's call, Liu Ziming, who was standing under the lobby, didn't dare to slack off, and rushed into the lobby in a few strides, bowing down and answering.

"With the king's order, I immediately accompanied General Qiu and Brother Wen to the camp in the west of the city, found General Qibi, and handled all the succession matters."

Li Xian stood up with an indifferent face, walked to the copywriting office on the side, took out an arrow from the lottery holder placed on the table, slipped it under his hand, weighed it a few times, and commanded quietly.

"No, the last general will take the order!"

Li Xian had already given the order, Liu Ziming didn't dare not be, so he respectfully took the order with both hands, and after answering, he strode up to the two sons of Qiu and Li, waved his hand and said, "Two generals, please!" ”

Qiu and Li obviously didn't expect Li Xian to agree to their own request so readily, and some of them really couldn't react for a while, and after looking at each other for a while, they got up suspiciously, and each bowed down to thank Li Xian for a few words, and didn't delay any longer.

"Lord Liu, I haven't seen you for a long time, is this always good?"

Li Xian didn't seem to care about the movements of Qiu and Li at all, his face was calm and calm, he turned his head to look at Liu Yizhi, who was sitting silently on the side, and asked with a smile.

"Thanks to His Highness, everything is fine with the officials."

Liu Yizhi's young man was originally an extremely proud character, but he was very miserable in the court struggle the year before last, and now he has long lost his original arrogance, but he has a little more calm and calm bearing, and he is cautious and abnormal in his eyes and lines, and he replied to Li Xian's words, concise and to the point, and he cherished the words like gold, obviously not planning to talk to Li Xian deeply.

"Well, that's good, it's not too early, Lord Liu will accompany the king to have lunch, and the king will invite the king to the history of the assassination together, and the two of you will hand over in the palace, so can it be done?" Li Xian didn't care about Liu Yizhi's life at all, and made a suggestion with a smile.

"In this way, I will talk to Your Highness."

Li Xian's words have already said this, Liu Yizhi didn't dare to disobey, his expression changed a few times, he bowed respectfully, and carefully agreed......
